I've had a thing for Fresh beauty products for a while now. Their Strawberry Flowers perfume is one of my two favorites right now, their mascaras are top-notch, and I am a bit obsessed with their (ridiculously priced) Brown Sugar Body Scrub. I was browsing in Sephora the other day when a new (to me?) perfume from their line caught my eye: Citron de Vigne. I sprayed it on the tester strip, and fell in love. Even better, it came in a convenient rollerball! SOLD. Usually I'd try it out to see how it worked on ME, but I was already wearing my perfume (Strawberry Flowers!), and I was in a rush.
(You see where this is going, right?)
I then brought it home, applied it the next morning, and promptly died.
It may be a lovely scent, but it doesn't work with my skin chemistry, for whatever reason. And obviously, my receipt has disappeared.
(You continue to see where this is going, right?)
My friends, I am hereby giving away a verrrrry barely used Fresh Citron de Vigne rollerball perfume! Valued at $18.50! Perfect stocking stuffer for a friend, or for you! Yes, you! Here's what it looks like (isn't the package adorable?) The bobby pin is for scale, not, like, still life artistic purposes:
Not scale-y ENOUGH, you say? What's that? You want another picture, possibly involving my thumb, so as to better contextualize the bottle's size? HOKAY:
The scent -- assuming it works for you -- really is lovely and complex. Fresh's website describes it as "champagne-inspired," with a "heart note of pinot accord -- comprised of bergamot, dark almond, musk, white sandalwood and rose -- combined with bubbling citrus top notes and an earthy base."
So, um, let's make up some rules, or something. Given the upcoming holiday, leave a comment between now and Monday, November 29 at 11:59 PM E.S.T., telling me something for which you're thankful. Yes. Let's go with that! It could be anything, really, but no duplicate comments, please. I'll select a winner at random.
Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm thankful I married a chef! We're getting our cook on starting tomorrow and I can't wait for our first joint Thanksgiving dinner :)
I am thankful that a Sephora opened in my city in August this year! Wuhoo!
In less superficial terms though, I'm thankful for my education, that I love what I do, and am graduating shortly and will be qualified as an elementary teacher.
Count me in!
I am thankful for your pretty, pretty thumbs! And, also, I am thankful that you lost your receipt. For, like...my purposes.
I'm thankful for my Roku. Oh and my family, my health, etc.
I'm grateful for puppies and ponies, even though I own neither.
I am thankful for my sister. And for the fact that when I asked her if she wanted to go to Vegas with me for Thanksgiving, she said yes.

I'm thankful I don't have your thumbs! Ha ha! I kid, I kid. Your thumbs are lovely.
I'm not going to win this, am I?
I was just thinking how super grateful I am that my husband likes to cook. He came home from work and made me homemade alfredo sauce (even though he didn't want any) and then proceeded to cook some chicken and make some spaghetti and THEN made chocolate chip cookies! While he did all that, I sat on the couch and read a book. I am so blessed :)
Well, it turns out I'm thankful for the ability to delete comments since it appears you've either added to your post or my eyes fell out of my head halfway through reading it and I failed to see the part about
revealing something for which I'm grateful. Besides the delete thingy, that is. Still, I'm pretty darn grateful for that button, so let's just stay with that, shall we? Unless you need something more heartfelt, in which case I'm grateful for your always-entertaining posts.
I am thankful that you are giving away a rollerball of one of my favorite scents! More seriously, I am thankful for second interviews and potential jobs. Unemployment is not a glamorous as I was led to believe.
I am thankful for my friends...would be seriously lost without them.
I am thankful for my horse! And, um, my boyfriend, friends, family, and all that, but mostly my horse!
I'm thankful for the little chunk of love snoozing on the blanket next to me--my son will be 2 months old on Thanksgiving Day and I couldn't be happier.
I am NOT, however, thankful that my husband made us switch from AT&T to Verizon. I hate this stupid Android operating system with the burning heat of a thousand suns (WHY does it scroll to the bottom of the page when I'm writing me a comment so I can't actually READ what I'm writing?)
I'd be even MORE thankful if Mr. Jobs would bring the iPhone to Verizon, thank you and amen.
I am thankful for Malibu Rum. It's delicious, and makes me feel more like a college kid and less like a bedraggled mom-of-three.
